Ballimore Goonoo Forest

Ballimore and Goonoo Forest are two small rural areas in New South Wales. Ballimore has a much larger population of 240 people compared to the sparsely populated Goonoo Forest, which has only 13 residents. There are significant differences in income; the typical household in Ballimore earns $1,857 per week, which is far higher than the $749 earned in Goonoo Forest. Ballimore is also more established with a school within 3 km and more people who identify as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander.

These two areas have both remained car-dependent, as no homes in either place are within a short walk of groceries, health services, or public transport.
